You just now learning Monty's a bigot? He still says Patrick Mahomes is a white kid ignoring the fact that his father is black...

Odd that I read your comment and thought of gigi. Yer notta white dude right?

Because some teams just don’t deserve an opportunity at the playoffs.

Like Indiana, Charlotte, Memphis, and San Antonio

Like the Celtics. Tatum, Jaylen, Kemba & Smart only played about 20 games together. Hopefully they'll be healthier next season.

Well, when I looked in my mirror this morning a black man looked back. So if I'm going by that little bit of data I think I'm still black...

My thoughts exactly (except Memphis). If you can't win half of your games, do you really deserve a playoff spot? If they would just take the top 16 overall regardless of conference, we would've had all .500 or above teams in this year's playoffs (Grizz instead of Wizards). Wizards are a popular team because they've been hot and Russ/Beal are a flashy pair, but even after that hot run, they're still 4 games under .500.

Depends. What is the state of this mirror?

Do you guys think montalban finally overdosed on bleach and glue huffing or is he just in a coma after reading how dumb he was?

That's more or less the point. Either open it wide open or stick to the historical model. Giving sub-.500 teams a 1-2 game shot at making up for a poor season seems unnecessary. Teams tanking when eliminated is less of a problem than teams tanking the entire season IMO (yes, even when the Lakers did it). If you're going to allow that strategy, along with resting players throughout the season and teams dumping games for playoff matchup purposes, then stop worrying about tanking altogether.

No matter what I thought of the playoff how could I not be for the only game on later being Westbrook showing everyone what effort truly is?

 

[dtgold88]

The fact that some of you are burning good energy explaining this format to this cat is kinda funny in itself...

The way some will go back and forth on certain topics here never ceases to amaze.

Yes, I'll use the "oh, the irony" on myself.

Quite excited for this game which I normally wouldn't even give a shit about.

Exactly, these games are brilliant. Warriors know they ain't winning a series but they can win a play in and feel awesome for a minute.

Indy schooling Charlotte.

I've seen JV girls teams play better defense than the Hornets in this game
